Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure Nitrogen and methane are separated in a nitrogen-methane cryogenic fractionator operating at a temperature between the boiling points of nitrogen and methane. A distillative aid or adsorbent is injected into the nitrogen-methane cryogenic fractionator for enhancing separation, for enabling an increase in operating pressure, and for enabling a high separation rate at relatively high temperatures.
